N300 WiFi Range Extender
My Netgear wifi extender N300 keeps dropping the connection for seconds all the time. And I am not able to update the firmware automatically neither manually, the latest firmware is out there on the o...
i had the same problem. I downloaded the older version of the firmware and installed it. Seems to have fixed my packet dropping issue.
Thanks BrainTX, I'll give it a try
Also, make sure that both WPA options for TKIP and AES are on. When I turned on only AES, I would drop packets pretty bad. The wifi connection LED would blink red alot. This was fixed when I enabled TKIP and AES
My Netgear EX2700/N300 works great, sets up easily and has a strong signal... but only for a brief time. It constantly disconnects and I must reestablish the connection after just 30-60 minutes or so. I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 phone and also a Samsung Tab A. This issue exists when using either device. I set my Arris router's wireless settings for both WPA and WPA2 (for TKIP & AES as suggested) and have also installed the latest firmware for the Range Extender and have confirmed that it is in fact up to date. I reset the unit and did a fresh setup and all seems to go very smoothly but still it just continues to disconnect all the time and I cannot figure out why. When I connect any device to my Arris router's wifi directly I have no issues. The issues are only when using the extender. I am ready to trash this and start over elsewhere but hope springs eternal. Any thoughts on this?
